Rehabilitation Center

The children of commercial sex workers living in red lights areas are often denied a childhood as they are exposed to their mother’s profession and associated addictions, violence and child labour. While girls are groomed in the business, boys often become pimps.

​

Children living with HIv are often orphaned and rejected or abandoned by their extended family who are ill-informed and/or ill-equipped to deal with their health issues.

HOW WE HELP?

​

Our flagship project provides care to 250 children of sex workers, minors rescued from the sex trade and children orphaned by and/or living with HIV. Unfortunately, many of our children arrive in poor health due to poor nutrition and a lack of understanding of how to administer ART effectively. Our ‘Home of Love’ offers shelter, education and vocational training as well as an on-site school and HIV Hospital with free and closely monitored ART. It is also home to our long-term women’s shelter and head office.

WHO WE HELP?

Our children live happy, active and healthy lives, attending school and evening revision classes and taking part in extra-curricular sports, cultural programmes and recreational activities. They are able to access counselling and play their part in a democratic child parliament that allows them to raise any issues and play an active role in managing their home environment.

HOW YOU CAN HELP?

​

Our children are raised to be independent and ambitious and we have successfully reduced second-generation prostitution by 100%. Help us give more children a safe and secure future.
